Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill

Immanuel Kant argues that autonomy, or the ability to self-govern or self-determine oneself, is the basis for morality and justice. In your paper, describe how Kant understands autonomy and why it is necessary for his concept of morality, personal responsibility, and justice. Next, explain how John Stuart Mill provides a philosophy, based on utility, that is opposed to Kants morality.  Afterwards, explain how both Kant and Mill might support or reject drug use according to their ethical systems. You may want to address concepts of self-harm, consent, enslavement, indirect vs. direct harm, negative vs. positive rights, paternalism, consequences vs. intentions, and etc., to name a few.  Finally, determine which side (pro or con drug use according to Kant and/or Mill) has the better argument; defend your position on drug legalization.

Your answer to the question must not only present your own considered opinion on the matter, but must be formulated so as to include at least:

1. a comparative examination of two or three different possible answers to the question;

2. a critical analysis of your own position which identifies potential weaknesses in the position and explains what makes that position nevertheless superior in some way to the others considered; and

3. specific reference to ideas, insights, and/or arguments presented by the philosophers assigned in the prompt.

What steps we take to slow the rise of the Covid-19 pandemic

In all of the disciplines, researchers begin their research by asking a question (inquiring) about their topic. The research question then guides the researcher as she strives to make a contribution to her field by answering the question. The researcher carefully weighs facts and inferences, and avoids judgments. Your goal is to become the researcher. Use the issue you have treated so far in this course as the foundation for researching a topic more deeply and then formulating your own informed argument. In this paper, you will move beyond the role of a student and will assume the position of an expert upon your topic. Your overall goal should be to use all that you are learning about effective argumentation to develop your own convincing argument on an important issue. You will then be ready to work on presenting your argument visually in an effective manner to your professor, who will assume the role of your target audience.

1. Begin by developing a key research question that will guide your argument. For example, What are the 1-3 most important factors leading to the prevalence of bullying in American schools? The goal of this paper will be to offer the most convincing answer that you can to your research question.
2. Once you have a research question, use it to find a total of 10 sources. You may use any sources from your annotated bibliography or quotation sampler as they apply to this paper. Your bibliography must contain a minimum of 10 sources.
